I think some of the G series/930 turbos are definitely works of art.

Totally agree with you! It's funny because $300k is a pipe dream to most. Instead of increasing that budget, we should halve it and see what people select!

I thought the same about the lack of Lotus' in dream garages and I'm guilty as well. However, since I haven't driven one yet, I just can't say it's a "dream" yet. There's some stiff competition out there and though the Emira is a dream to look at for sure, at this point in time, I went with ones...

This was actually so tough for me to narrow down, but yet difficult to come up with 3 things without going over (which I probably did all said and done). THIS 2018 Porsche GT3 Carbon 65 Z06 3LZ Manual Ford Bronco Raptor in red

Great pic! Congrats!

I think you can love Porsche's AND Lotus. Why not? Porsche embodies so many things. Heritage, engineering, handling, beauty, solidly built, reliability. As does Lotus (maybe minus some reliability and build quality). It doesn't have to be an either/or. I have no experience with Lotus. It was an...

He just means that Lotus sent out a copy and paste Christmas "card." I got one as well.

You must mean an Audi TT? I was sitting here thinking, he has a 911 TT and has a lower number on the speedo than it feels? I absolutely know I'll think the Emira is slow coming from a 911 TTS. Not sure I'll like it much, tbh. I remember test driving the MX-5 ND RF when it first came out. The...

A lot of people consider the "T" to be a more driver focused trim. Less weight, less frills, etc.

Or 2050

Lol ya I guess it depends on the factory doing the painting, but I'm sure you can agree that most body shop jobs are not Dave Kindig precision. It takes that kind of level to produce a paint job as good as factory, imo. I would always buy the used car with ppf over one that's had the front...

I would opt for PPF over a respray every time. Paint shops will never be as good as factory. Period. It's just a different process. Also, you run into color match issues quite frequently, especially on plastic bumpers. Then there's the dirt nibs, fish eyes and runs that inevitably happen with...

All new cars have some paint defects, whether it's rotary or sanding marks, small scratches, etc. "Wobbles" is an interesting term that could mean any number of things. I've seen videos of brand new Ferrari's, Rolls Royce and Bentley's that needed attention.

And can you imagine the absolute pandamonium that would result if Porsche changed the design language drastically? Look at the 996! And that was just headlights!

I think the "worth it" part is going to vary from person to person. Honestly, I'm glad I didn't make the FE cut and went to the back of the line for a base. It's given me time to experience two different cars in the meantime and also time for kinks to be worked out and eventually drive it...

I agree...he did seem almost giddy!

Yup, April is spring. Original deposit July 13th 2021. Sold Porsche the end of July 2021 expecting the Emira Spring, 2022. Sure, April would have been great! But which year? Spring 2022 is no longer an option.

Weren't FE's promised Spring 2022? I wouldn't have sold my 991.1 GTS last June if I'd known the delivery date was so far off.

🤣🤣🤣🤣

I see. Don't blame you one wanting the purple Bimmer!

I'm confused as well. In this post, you said you were "out" but now you're buying the Emira?

Love that color!!

Am I the only one who doesn't think the GRY is ugly?. I actually think it's a cute little bugger!

Gosh I had to make sure this wasn't Emiraspain's post 🤣

And never wash it?

Congrats! Gorgeous spec!

Um...please return my 240Z immediately!!

Absolutely! Read the article...yes, it's long. But it's the best explanation as to WHY orange peel exists in the first place. In order to completely remove or reduce orange peel, you must sand at certain points in the painting process. This takes labor and time. Again, orange peel is not BAD...

Orange peel is in every new car these days and it's not necessarily a bad thing. Just something we need to get used to seeing as polishing it out is a dangerous decision. Keep as much clear on your car as you can. There isn't much if it to begin with . About the thickness of a piece of paper...

Screw the pumpkins...look at that view!

Well that got weird fast...

If you have to ask...Subaru all the way 😁

OK I see what you're saying. They could have gone more along the lines of the Turbo S maybe. I prefer dual (non-center) exhaust as well. Sorry Tom...off topic! 😁

Wow! Magma is just beautiful!

I actually like the rear of the 992's. What I don't like is all the black plastic on the front bumper, like Harry pointed out. Just looks cheap.

Saw the episode today too. "Aspirational" is the exact word I used. What a car!

To each their own for sure.

I think they should be careful about being so sure about dates....
